  • Introduction

    • Information about a library of packages that provide a raster calculator for 2D square celled spatial data called Grids. This began to evolve in the year 2000 and has been used in a number of research projects. Version 1.0 beta 1 was released as open source in March 2005 as open source under the GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1. The software is based on the Java language.
    • The general idea is to be able to handle datasets with hundreds of thousands of row and columns by controlling the swapping of data to and from different parts of computer memory.
    • On 2006-07-11 an attempt was made to initiate development of this software as an Open Source Geospatial Foundation project, but since then little progress has been made with this. It is understood that an incubation process needs to occur and that a larger user base is needed... Meanwhile the code is evolving...
